Rider
Gustavus Adolphus, The Lion of The North
Streiff rode passed the two, Gustavus knew he'd cut Saber. Grinning, he yanked the Reigns back, causing Streiff to grind to a halt, and rear, turning around. The Steed snorted, it's eyes locked on Saber, as were Gustavus'. Cracking the reigns once more, Streiff charged forth again, Gustavus raised his Sword for another slash, this time bringing it down to decapitate Saber completely.

Layfon Alseif and Saber Saber noticed Rider charging again and tried to push Layfon away to keep him safe. But before she did, Layfon turned quickly with his hand held high creating a massive fireball and said, "Not this time; BURN TO ASH." And tossed it right in front of him so even if it missed, it will be hard to avoid and it will cause some damage, but then he fell breathing hard due to the exhaustion for using a spell at that level. Saber was surprised to noticed something about her master, "This man, why would he give up his life to protect me, he said its his duty but there must be something more to it." Then when the light from his attack, she used it to get herself and her master in her arms away from the area. Hada Iriko Hada, saw that Rider first strike hit its mark and started to smile thinking, "Is it possible he is going to win against a Saber class servant, this is great." But then he noticed the enemy master created a giant fire ball and said in a worried tone, "RIDER, WATCH OUT!" Hopping he be able to avoid it that it wont hurt hinm too much at least.

Rider
Gustavus Adolphus, The Lion of The North
Spotting the Flames too late to dodge, Gustavus' eyes widened. Due to the lack of Magic Resistance, he could not negate the spell in any way. But before he could act, Strieff reared, taking the full impact, throwing Gustavus from the saddle. The strike was enough to cause Streiff to fade, Gustavus landing on the ground with a heavy thud. As he quickly rolled to get up, he recalled a similar event occurring in his life. He couldn't help but smirk. 'Just like back then, hm?' he thought, rising to his feet, gripping his sword with both hands. "I give praise to your Master, Saber. He possesses skill. But, I will not be felled so easily." he said to her. Noticing her fleeing, Rider rushed forward after her, with a roar as powerful as a Lions, positioning his Sword ready to swing, and even parry a strike of Saber's if she made motion against his charge. However, she had fled further into the city from where they were battling. Slowing, Gustavus sighed, lowering his sword. "A Tactical Retreat. Hm... I never would have taken a Saber to withdraw, regardless of the circumstances. Regardless..." he muttered, knowing that Saber wasn't even one of his two main targets: Assassin and Caster. Those were the ones of top priority right now.
Turning from Saber's direction, Gustavus headed back towards Hada. The time was now to withdraw from the battlefield. Their enemy was long gone. Dispursing his Sword, he retrieved the large coat Hada had given him, and approached his Master. "Forgive me, Master. I failed to take her head." he stated his failure. Not exactly a pleasant thing to admit a failure, but he acknowledged a Victory for the battle, at least. He had forced Saber to withdraw, and for now, that was enough.

Hada Iriko Hada was happy to see him alright after that attack from the master and said with relief, "Its alright Rider, I am just happy you pushed them back. But that master was crazy going in there like that, even I know that doing that will get yourself killed." Still dumbfounded on that master recklessness, he then looked at Rider, "What do you think?" Wanting to know his input on the battle and how he thought it went.

Gustavus Adolphus, The Lion of The North
Though Hada rebuked the Master for his recklessness, Gustavus knew Hada had allowed the Master to approach him and converse with him to begin with. But still, he chose to say nothing. Turning from his Master, he looked at where the battle had taken place, and replayed it in his mind. "I'm afraid I could not discern our enemy Servant's identity. But..." he said, recalling something he'd seen. Upon the Crimson Blade the Red Saber had used, the words, "Aestus Estus" had been written. Though unfortunately, Gustavus knew not it's meaning. "I may have gained a small hint of where to start." he stated. Then he pondered towards the Master. "Her Master, while possessing Skill, is still a Novice as a Magus. He indeed showed reckless behavior for a Master. With such a Master as that, defeating them will not be too hard. Should he rush in like that again, it will be his head to fall, rather than his Servant's." he remarked, sighing. Killing a Master was the fastest way to execute an opposing Servant... but it wasn't exactly honorable to do so. Such a deed was only acknowledged towards the deeds of an Assassin. However, if he was foolish enough to believe facing a Servant was possible with his power, then it was his own fault for having his life stolen from him.

Hada Iriko Hada knew about recklessness, "Well, I'm one to talk anyway, i was reckless enough to let him come close to me, but he acted like a knight then a magus though due to his stern voice even for that moment." Looking back at that moment he saw something but did not know what it was. Layfon Alseif and Saber Saber stopped moving right near the home where they started without any change and the bodies still laying there she puts him down on his bed seeing alot of pages of magic laying all over his room and thought, "Amaizing beauty he has even if he was ugly at that moment of coming in just to heal me, he showed his true self when it came between me and the enemy servant, he is noble at heart." She then started looking at his papers and saw drawing of weapons with schematics on them amaized on their looks said, "Now this is interesting as well as his drawing skills. He must be trying to make weapons for himself, but how can he add the abilities he wishes to them? Hmm, i wounder..." She then went back to where she was summoned and looked through the books and noticed something interesting about a spell. "Trace magic: A spell level higher then Projection magic; this spell allows the user to create weapons from any shape and era depending on the user, the spell has a unknown number of uses and creating weapons are unknown." But then her master woke up and Layfon called for her in a kind tone, "Saber, are you here? Hope your alright." Saber went back into his room and said in an annoyed tone, "WHY DID YOU JUMP IN, I would of finished him right there if you didn't stepped in like you did." Layfon got scared for a second but after saber finished her sentence, he then said in a soft tone, "Well, he was going to come around to cut your head off and with that wound would of slowed you down. So i thought to go to you and heal you before he came around, but he got back too soon so i had to use my magic at that level to force him away, sorry about that." Looking down on hurting her pride, he hoped to be more useful but the thought of letting someone else die today hurts him more then anything else right now.

Gustavus sighed a bit. "You are new to the field of battle, Young Master. I will tell you a secret to the battlefield, though." he said, disbanding his armor and returning the coat to himself, buttoning it up tightly once more. "Those who charge recklessly into the fray will find themselves without anyone in reach to come to your aid." he stated. And he knew this from personal experience. After all, that's how he died.

Hada Iriko Hada heard what Rider said and was amazed by his wisdom, "I understand, if he ever comes close to me next time, i will fight him off with my magic one way or another for sure this time." he hold his fist in front of himself to make sure he knows what to do and then looks at rider, "Well Uncle, want to keep looking in town?" asking politely to see if he still wants to see the city where the fighting still continues. Layfon Alseif and Saber Saber saw her master disappointment, but it wasn't on her action, it was on his own action and recklessness he was disappointed in. she then came close to him near his ear, "But the way that you acted showed me your action in this life of your honesty and trust you have in others isn't it." Layfon was surprised that she came close to him, but after hearing her, he then said calmly, "Yeah, i always was like this and my parents are proud of it. But looking at what i did was dumb, but inside my heart said it was the right thing to do." Saber giggled and then said, "Well, you showed me something that even i have never scene before, but what it is i won't tell you until later. The first thing is to figure out who that servant is." Layfon smiled after she said that and said with a tone of a strategist, "There is only one man i know of that had a gun, sword and road a horse named Streiff. That man is no other then the Lion of the North, Gustavus Adolphus." Shocked to hear that so soon Saber asked quickly, "How did you knew who that was so easily?" Layfon then said in a kind voice, "Well, he was man famous in his country so they saved a piece of the horse pelt after they died and is still shown in the museum, so once the name of his horse was said, it was easy to know him."

Hatsumi Keinichi
Hatsumi froze in place when her Servant's words could be heard. Orders. As if she could think of any off the top of her head immediately. The young lady pushed her long curls over one shoulder and scanned the study briefly until her eyes would settle on the water spotted window. "...I suppose we could head out now..." She declared weakly, glimpsing at Lancer for only a mere couple of seconds before taking her leave from the study carefully.
She stepped in the direction of her front door to her house where a coat rack could be spotted. Hatsumi grabbed her coat and slipped on her boots once more, along with an umbrella. The rain had died down somewhat and had left the ground soaked and patched with puddles. Hatsumi wasn't quite sure where to go or how to exactly locate the Servant Rider along with his or her Master.
For now though, maybe taking another walk would clear her thoughts. And, just maybe, as much as she doubted at the moment, she would have something interesting appear before her once again.

Quote: Assassin/Kotaro Fuma ". . . ." Suspecting that neither Saber and Rider wouldn't be expecting an attack from a different enemy so soon after their own battle, Assassin creates ten clones of himself and wraps them all in a shadowy illusion, to make them appear as no more than humanoid shadows rather than an enemy Servant, and sends five clones after each Servant while the true Assassin vanishes deeper into the city in an effort to locate other enemy Servants. The five clones sent after Rider catch up to him and Hada before their counterparts can reach Saber and Layfon. But rather than attempt a straightforward attack, the clones spread out to surround the Master and Servant before making their presence known by revealing themselves in a circle surrounding the pair. And yet, even at such close proximity, none of the clones has a detectable presence as a Servant. Without so much as a word each clone draws two short-bladed swords and they slowly advance, waiting for the Master and Servant to react and hopefully leave one of the other clones an open route to drive a blade through the back of Rider's Master. ". . . ."The clones send after Layfon and Saber utilize the same tactics as the ones targeting Rider and Hada, moving to surround the pair before revealing themselves and advancing slowly, looking for any opening that leaves Saber's Master vulnerable, all the while uttering not so much as a single word. ". . . ."

Rider nodded. "Indeed Master. We've stayed too long as it is." he said, walking away with Hada. But they didn't get far. 5 Strange figures surrounded the two of them, causing Rider to resummon his sword once more. "Hmph, Attacking us after a battle. I'll say this for them, they must be an Assassin. None else would attack in such a manner." he stated, despite not being able to detect a Servant Status from any one of them. Pondering, he knew it was going to be difficult to protect Hada in this situation. There was one way he could do it though. Extending his other hand, an old-style Pistol appeared in his hand. "Shame your Master is such a coward, else I may find pleasure, or even honor in this fight." he remarked, before quickly slashing at the nearest Assassin, before glancing back and firing his pistol at the Assassin behind Hada, hoping Hada would have ducked as soon as the fight started.
Mari
Master of Archer
"Silver and iron to the origin. Gem and the archduke of contracts to the cornerstone. The ancestor is my great master Schweinorg.
The alighted wind becomes a wall. The gates in the four directions close, coming from the crown, the three-forked road that leads to the kingdom circulate.
Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill). Shut (fill).
Repeat every five times.
Simply, shatter once filled.
――――I announce.
Your self is under me, my fate(doom) is in your sword.
In accordance with the resort of the Holy Grail, if you abide by this feeling, this reason, then answer.
Here is my oath. I am the one who becomes all the good of the world of the dead, I am the one who lays out all the evil of the world of the dead.
You, seven heavens clad in three words of power, arrive from the ring of deterrence, O keeper of the balance ―――！"
Mari completed her Ritual, and began summoning her Servant within the forest between Einzbern Manor and Fuyuki. The Catalyst was a Quiver that had been given her by her Creators for a hero from Chinese Mythology. Watching the mist dissipated, she spotted her Servant kneeling before her. She awaited her Servant's standard question.

Quote: Assassin/Kotaro Fuma The five clones sent after Rider and Hada stop advancing once Rider draws his sword, though the clone Rider targeted with his pistol hadn't anticipated the use of a firearm and takes a hit right through the chest, though the clone simply vanishes, leaving the bullet to continue flying and to slam into the ground behind the clone. The remaining clones pull up short and shift tactics, each clone suddenly acting independently. The one nearest to Hada simply dashes towards the Master, obviously aiming to slay Rider's Master before either he or Rider can react. The remaining three clones focus on Rider himself, with one of them pulling out a Fuma Shuriken and throwing it at Rider while the other two close into melee range with the intent to flank Rider. And through it all, not one of them utters so much as a single word. ". . . ."Quote: Archer/Sun Shang Xiang As the summoning completes, Archer rises from a kneeling position and looks down at Mari, smirking slightly since she suspects her Master expected a more 'formal' introduction. "So, I take it you're the one who summoned me? I have to admit, I wasn't expecting a kid like you to be my Master, but you take what you can get I suppose." Archer then shrugs and gives a slight chuckle. "Oh, right, introductions. Stupid formalities. Just call me 'Archer', kiddo."

(Sorry i didnt post right away, needed some time to clear head from jumbled thoughts.) Hada Iriko Hada saw Rider pull out his guns and knew the best place is to be next to him so he ducked just in case to avoid being fired upon and ran close to him to be protected and then turned around and noticed Assassin was all around them and panicked forming water around themselves, "Stay away from US!!" releasing a Water Dragon wearing himself out but went after the three attacking Rider without even controlling it.

Gustavus growled in anger. Not only had the Assailants recovered more quickly than he thought, they were now on the offensive. However, seeing Hada's Water Beast, this gave him the instance he needed. "All, To Me..." he spoke a command into the air, and behind the group of Servants, 10 Blue Spirits seemed to come alive, and form into Gun Soldiers, who each held an Old-Style Rifle at Aim. Blocking a strike from the first Assassin attack with his gun, the second with his Sword, he roared, "Fire!", and without hesitation, the Soldier's fired rounds into each of the remaining Assassins, their guns setting off loud bangs echoing through out the park.
Mari
Master of Archer
Observing the Servant as she declared herself Archer, Mari's expression remained unfazed. "Indeed I am." she declared, revealing the Command Spells as if they held such pedigree for Mastership. Her eyes Narrowed at the Archer Servant. "I am well aware of your identity, Lady Wu. And as my Servant, I trust you will not disobey my commands, yes?" she asked her Servant, seeming intimidating, and would be against any average person, even with her young appearance.

Quote: Assassin/Kotaro Fuma The four remaining clones all show their incredible agility by evading the attacks of the soldiers Rider summoned, and they even work to flank each soldier whenever possible, though Hada's water beast does catch another clone. Even so the clones seem unfazed, in fact they all switch from using their swords and each pulls out two Fuma Shuriken and they throw them in various directions, using the wires attached to them to redirect them in mid-flight, resulting in the Shuriken changing trajectory and unpredictable intervals. ". . . ."Quote: Archer/Sun Shang Xiang Archer narrows her eyes at Mari, showing that she at the very least dislikes her attitude. "I may be your Servant, but that does not make me a slave. If you attempt to use me as a tool for senseless killing, you will have to use one of those precious seals each and every time. And since you have only three in total.... Archer then crosses her arms over her chest, not impressed in the least with Mari's attempt to intimidate her. "You cannot scare me with mere words, 'Master'."
